Kerrang!

It was the Kerrang! Awards in London last night, a little gathering to celebrate the heavier end of rock before all the metallers head off to Download for the weekend. And, to mark the occasion, we have got for you, with little thought for our own safety here, a list of the winners, a quote from the magazine’s Editor In Chief, and another from one of the victorious bands. We spoil you, we really do.

The Kerrang! Editor In Chief quote from Kerrang! Editor In Chief Phil Alexander: “This year is a landmark year for Kerrang! [ie it’s the 30th anniversary] In that sense it is fitting that from Alice Cooper to Def Leppard and on to Asking Alexandria there are at least three generations of musicians here picking up awards. Kerrang! is one of the few truly multi-platform brands in modern music, and we¹re pleased to have supported all the acts recognised this evening. As ever Kerrang! prides itself in looking forward and tonight¹s awards show tells us that the future is decidedly loud”.

The victorious band quote from victorious band Skindred, who picked up the Devotion Award: “We are chuffed to bits to have received this award. It’s great to receive recognition for what we do which has always been about drawing from many musical influences in the records we make and remaining true to the Skindred sound. So, it’s really nice to see people are starting to sit up and take notice and this award is to us a celebration of this. Thank you to Kerrang! and to all those who have supported us”.
